prayer of life, 15 April 2005
9/10
Author: bhudson_8 from United Kingdom

This film is like a prayer.

i did like the mysteriousness of the film. it is special life and things are private.

there is nothing phoney about godard or his work.

it rates as highly as any other work of cinema or art.

I think the film is great, and i like very much the aspect or theme of the symbols of agony in the film.

truth: evil may be strong, but godard, like a true friend in Christ's one-ness, is not cheap.

Godard's film is very much a private cinema.

It's light is postmodernist.

a very wonderful film, a wonderful sacred work.
